  • This incredible cookie was invented by Eric Kim of the New York Times, and features a simple sugar cookie marbled with Korean chili paste. These highly addictive cookies are a perfect combination of spicy, sweet, and savory, and have that perfect crispy around the edges, but chewy in the center texture. These are officially my new favorite cookies. Enjoy!

    I make these way more than I should because they are stupid delicious. Awesomely, they freeze super well raw. I scoop them onto a sheet tray, freeze them and then store them in a freezer bag so I can bake one or two as needed. They bake great from frozen, needing maybe just an extra minute in the oven. Highly recommend!

      Because his recipes are published on allrecipes, I make his baking dishes and breads using their weights for flour, sugar etc. I just used that method to make his pizza rustica pastry on the wknd to success. I agree though, I think a lot more ppl are tuned into weighing ingredients nowadays and it saves me time. I would also ask for metric measurements, but as a Canuck and home cook I am used to conversasions.

    When I saw Gochujang Caramel Cookies, I dropped all my other YT viewing to turn aside and see this wonder. My introduction to that paste was seeing at large tub filled with it at a house in Korea. I deduced, just by looking at the large tub, that somebody was getting ready to coat their house wall in red plaster. Later when I was in the company of some Korean folks enjoying hot peppers, that made my eyes water to look at (never mustered the courage to taste one), fresh from somebody’s garden dipping the burning peppers into the red paste before eating them, I realized my mistake. It was to dampen the burn from eating fresh peppers. Cookies and gochujang would not have seemed a likely combo to me till seeing your video.

    The second batch is based on the timeline where the Gochujang nation invaded the Plain Cookie nation and only begun to occupy some of the regions aggressively.
    The first batch is based on the later timeline where the Gochujang nation and the Plain Cookie nation had almost blended into each other quite well.
